Microsoft SharePoint (on-premises) Using REST API

Creating a Basic Connection
Create a basic SharePoint connection at the following endpoint.
GET {{url}}v1/connections/platforms/SharePoint/new
Create a Connection with Applicable Authorization Type
Verify your instance support forms. In rare instances, there can be a misconfiguration with SharePoint that can falsely report that Forms are supported. If you are experiencing connection issues with SharePoint, you may need to configure for ntlm authentication for the auth_type parameter.
